Subject: Create Your Own Armour Ability

You want a sandwich? Sure. As long as you don't mind me putting poison in it.

Yeah. I use the AR, so what? All you can do is scream and rage about me using the weapon.

Right, imagine this scenario:

343i have listened to us and removed Armour Lock from Multiplayer but they want to add another Armour Ability in it's place and they've come to us, the Community, for help.

So, what would your ideas be?


------------------------------------------

My idea is to have an Armour Ability that allows you to change the colour of your armour to the enemy teams colour for a short period of time (example: blue to red).

"Eliminator" - Eliminates all effects of all other Armor Abilities, affecting every player in the game.

One time use, press the button, and all AAs are rendered useless. It also changes bloom to 0% and makes you move faster.

Sounds like an MLG button.

Back in Halo 3 I had the same idea (color changing) as the OP. I thought of it more like a spy mode. What if you could even tap into their communication lines as well? Taking it even further, what if you could see them on the map, just like you see your normal teammates but with a different indicator of course? I'm not sure if that would be too overpowered, but I think that those options would at least be cool for some weird custom game scenarios.

You could also appear as a Friendly on the opposing teams MT when the AA is active.

I can honestly say I don't see how that'd work.

I like to play Reach for fun. I hate MLG, campers, armor lock, and team killers because they ruin that fun. Deal with it.

A beam that cancels out armor lock and makes him loses his shields.

chances are I don't care who you are or what you say.

no reason to have new armor abilities... either way, they couldn't add it to the game and they wouldn't because they are busy with real fixes for reach and H4

Dude you take threads way too seriously. Can't you tell that this is one of those rare "just for fun" threads?
The OP did clearly say "Imagine".

  • 01.11.2012 7:08 AM PDT

You can pass through certain walls. "Phase" through if you will.

Boom,

And so God called Moses to come forth but he came fifth and was therefore disqualified.

Mine would be, you are ABSOLUTELY invisible (no weird looking wavy pattern) at all times, even while shooting and running, and the radar would not be all jambled, and you would not even appear on it, and you could run really fast, and your damage is doubled, and only I can choose it.

  • 01.11.2012 8:09 AM PDT

AXIOS you idiot.

Just remember that no matter how terrible you feel, or how much you want to let go, there are people who care about you and love you.

VERY balanced.

How about one I call "sapper" a kinda emp blast that can ruin any enemy's armor ability for a limited time, leaving them vulnerable?

  • 01.11.2012 8:10 AM PDT

THATS MY COOL MAN I CAN'T TAKE IT OFF!

Why the hell would we want another armor ability.

Maybe because people get bored of the same old same old?

@Above: I missed it :v

Something like armor lock, but you would activate it in mid air and you wouldn't take fall damage. Sorta like how the chief did in the begining of halo 3. It would be useful on spire, just jump off and lock your armor. Maybe you would have a delay before you could get up to keep it balanced.

  • 01.11.2012 8:19 AM PDT

Red light. Basically it would only take effect if two or more of the oppsing team were within striking distance. It's kinda like armor lock, but you take damage and cant move, and neither can anyone else in its feild.

Or something similar as above, but instead it just tenticle rapes everyone.

  • 01.11.2012 8:30 AM PDT

Tin shacks and catfish bones.

Overshield Armor Ability. Yeah that's right.
